The Solar Neutrino Problem
The solar core emits neutrinos as a result of the nuclear reactions in the pp-chain. The thing with neutrinos is, they have a very small cross-section, and therefore are very difficult to detect (they can go all the way through Earth … Continue reading
Nuclear Reactions
What are the nuclear reactions taking place in the interior of the stars, and what are their elementary steps? There are many. In these reactions, light elements fuse into heavier elements. The more massive is a star and the higher the temperature … Continue reading
